Chapter 271: Chapter 246 Internal God-man Wen Yuan_1
Guan Shan laughed and said, "Perhaps, it’s not a bad thing, but a good thing."
"Good thing?"
"Wen Yuan has an extremely high talent for martial arts, so over this years, I would give him some guidance whenever I was free. He has progressed rapidly and not long ago, he had already cultivated Vajra Indestructible Skill to the Unity of Man and Martial Arts realm."
"However, after cultivating into an Acquired Martial Body, although his body and Qi-blood have greatly improved, his bone strength has always remained at one. This is very strange. I checked his body and inner strength and found no abnormalities. Therefore, I suspect that Wen Yuan is very likely an Internal God-man," said Guan Shan.
"After the Acquired Martial Body, the number of bone strengths not rising could possibly, be very likely."
Lu Yan felt somewhat excited.
Such instances had often been talked about in the Hidden Dragon Camp.
At the level of Martial Marquis, ordinary people who cultivate first-class martial arts into Unity of Man and Martial Arts will generally increase the number of bone strengths.
"Wen Yuan has an extremely high talent. If he truly is an Internal God-man, staying in Lingdong would only waste his talent. The next time you return to the Mansion of King Ming, you can bring him along. The Mansion of King Ming can verify whether he is an Internal God-man."
Guan Shan suggested.
"I agree."
Lu Yan nodded in agreement, hesitated a moment, then said, "Senior, you want Master Chu Chenzhou’s spirit tablet to return to the Mansion of King Ming, yet King Ming has yet to agree, which has disappointed you."
"You needn’t blame yourself."
The expression on Guan Shan’s face revealed no signs of disappointment. He laughed and said, "King Ming did not agree, but he also did not disagree, and your treatment at the Mansion of King Ming hasn’t been reduced, has it?"
"No, it’s the same as others."
Lu Yan replied.
"That’s right. I guess King Ming is also watching you. Perhaps it’s a test for you. As long as you cultivate peacefully and your cultivation level rises in the future, King Ming will naturally give the orders."
Guan Shan said.
Lu Yan nodded and did not dwell on this matter any further.
"By the way, over the years, I found a young woman with exceptional martial chef talent at the Sanjue Martial Arts Hall. On a whim, I took her as my direct disciple. I hope you don’t mind me taking your liking."
Guan Shan laughed, stroking his beard.
"Who? She’s fortunate to be favored by you. How could I, as the junior, mind?"
Lu Yan replied.
"Tofu, come in."
Guan Shan clapped, and a tall, young woman walked in.
It was Tofu.
Six years later, Tofu was no longer naive. She had grown into a graceful and beautiful woman.
"Uncle Lu, I’ve taken Master as my teacher, you won’t mind, will you?"
Tofu looked at Lu Yan with a bit of apprehension.
After all, it was Lu Yan who brought her here and primarily trained her. She was worried that Lu Yan might take exception to her changing loyalties halfway through.
"Hahaha, silly girl, I’m happy for you to have Master Guan Shan as your mentor. I wouldn’t mind. I’ve been running around and don’t have much to teach you. Following Master Guan Shan, you can truly learn. But you must work hard in the future and not be lazy."
Lu Yan laughed aloud.
"Yes."
Tofu bowed respectfully.
After reminiscing with Guan Shan, Wen Yuan and others, Lu Yan went back to see Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui, and had Wang Cui take the Nourishing Body Soup.
After taking the soup, Wang Cui slept for a day and a night, sweating profusely. After cleaning up, she looked radiant as if she had become ten years younger and much healthier.
Of course, it would take more than a day and a night for the Nourishing Body Soup to prove its full effectiveness. In the following days, it would subtly improve Wang Cui’s physical condition and truly make her disease-free.
"Dad, when do you plan to break through to Martial Marquis?"
Lu Yan asked.
"I was planning on a month later. Why?"
Lu Qingshan replied.
"I brought some ingredients for martial food from Mingwang City that can aid you. Once these martial foods are cooked, it’s not too late for you to try and break through."
Lu Yan explained.
Lu Qingshan naturally didn’t oppose and nodded.
After dining with his elderly parents, Lu Yan gathered Li Quan, Wang Lin and others to inquire about the situation in Lingdong.
For the past six years, Lingdong had been very quiet with hardly any significant battles.
The surviving Master Level Feudal Lords had suffered heavy losses and focused on nurturing their younger generations and improving their strength.
Over the past six years, talented individuals constantly emerged from various feudal lords. There were quite a few new Martial Marquises, not to mention Master Level martial artists.
Without a doubt, Li’an City had become the top power in Lingdong.
Although no Master Level martial artist had emerged, the number of Martial Marquis was the highest in Lingdong, reaching over eighty.
Apart from those who had broken through under Lu Yan’s direct tutelage, the others all defected to his cause.
Under Guan Shan’s leadership, everything was organized and no one harbored second thoughts.
"City Lord, you instructed your subordinates to collect ancient objects. I haven’t forgotten this over the years. I’ve collected quite some. Would you like to take a look?"
Li Quan offered.
"Alright, bring them up."
Lu Yan nodded.
Soon, several large boxes of ancient objects were brought up, totaling over a hundred pieces.
When Lu Yan communicated with the Dao Book, he found that there were indeed five pieces of Dao Food among the objects.
Of course, they were all general Dao Food with limited energy, but every bit added up.
"You’ve done a good job."
Lu Yan was in a good mood. He really wanted to take Li Quan out of Lingdong to develop an intelligence organization and help him gather Dao Food.
But on second thought, he gave up.
He hadn’t yet established a firm footing outside.
Outside Lingdong, there were many strong individuals and lots of experts. It was hard for an intelligence organization to develop without strong force support.
Let’s wait and see.
Next, Lu Yan assembled the four master martial chefs.
Yes, there were four.
One was Lu Wenxuan, and another was from the Zhou Clan, a newly promoted master martial chef.
The other two, naturally, were from the Qiu Family and Fang Family respectively.
Both had pledged loyalty to Li’an City one after another.
Over these years, the breeding of alien beasts under Li’an city had scaled significantly. Guan Shan even transferred part of the breeders to Kunwu Mountain to breed more alien beasts.
With abundant alien beast meat and master martial chefs, martial food was plentiful. This was also the reason why Li’an City had developed rapidly in recent years.
"Greetings to the City Lord."
The four martial chef masters bowed respectfully to Lu Yan.
The status of a martial chef master was high. They were generally arrogant outside, but before Lu Yan, they did not dare to be disrespectful.
"Master Lu, it has been a long time."
Looking at Lu Wenxuan, a smile appeared on Lu Yan’s face.
Speaking of which, Lu Wenxuan had helped him cook martial food for free for ten years and now those ten years were over.
But from what he heard from Li Quan, Lu Wenxuan had no intention of leaving. Whoever asked him to leave, he’d be upset at.
"Indeed, it has been a long time. You look more brilliant than ever, City Lord."
Lu Wenxuan bowed.
Lu Yan laughed and said, "Today, I have invited you all here to help me cook a few kinds of martial food according to the ’Eighteen Bone-penetrating Methods’."
Then, he took out all the necessary ingredients.
All these ingredients were not available in Lingdong. The four martial chef masters were delighted on seeing them and slapped their chests, promising to complete the task.
With so many martial chef masters working together, the efficiency was naturally high. Less than half a month later, all the kinds of martial food were successfully cooked, with none failed.
Lu Yan handed all these types of martial food to Lu Qingshan.
With the combination of these four kinds of martial food and the Mutated Nine-section Heart Meat, there was no way it could fail.
Indeed, before long, Lu Qingshan began his breakthrough attempt to the Martial Marquis realm, and succeeded in one go, stepping into the Martial Marquis realm.
....
This time, Lu Yan stayed in Lingdong for two months before he bid farewell to everyone. Accompanied by Wen Yuan, he rode on Blood Peng back to Mingwang City.
Eight days later, he returned to Mingwang City.
As for the Hidden Dragon Camp, Wen Yuan was not allowed to enter temporarily. Lu Yan arranged for Wen Yuan to stay at a hotel, and he alone went to King Ming’s Guard Mansion to report, meeting the deputy commander of King Ming’s Guard, Chu Xu.
"Lu Yan, you will be dispatched for a task in half a month. It is best not to leave Mingwang City during this half month; you may receive notice to proceed at any time." Chu Xu said.
"Yes."
Lu Yan nodded, then bowing, said: "Deputy Commander, I have a disciple, who is a prodigy. He has achieved unity in a top-class martial arts. But he did not add any Bone Strength. Hence, I am looking for King Ming’s Guard Mansion to do some inspection."
"No increase in Bone Strength, could he be an Internal God-man?"
Chu Xu’s eyes lit up.
"I thought so too." Lu Yan responded.
"Where is he? Bring him quickly. I will arrange for an inspection now." Chu Xu said.
Lu Yan thanked him and left. Shortly after, he returned to King Ming’s Guard Mansion with Wen Yuan.
Chu Xu had already laid out the arrangements and collected a sample of Wen Yuan’s blood.
"Lu Yan, you should stay with your disciple in your other courtyard for now and wait for news. If Wen Yuan is an Internal God-man, he will certainly be admitted to the Hidden Dragon Camp."
Chu Xu stroked his beard, looking very satisfied.
A master and a disciple going into the Hidden Dragon Camp together would make for a wonderful story.
From his experience, he could almost conclude that Wen Yuan was indeed an Internal God-man.
Just the rank was not yet clear.
Lu Yan took leave, and soon, he returned to the Hidden Dragon camp with Wen Yuan.
Three days later, Chu Xu came to Lu Yan with a smile on his face.
"Lu Yan, the test results are out. Your disciple Wen Yuan is indeed an Internal God-man. His liver is special and contains a miracle inside. Furthermore, his level is not low and he should have the potential of the Upper True Body. But we need to wait for him to cultivate to the master level and unlock the miracle in his liver, only then can we confirm it finally."
"You indeed have a good disciple. If both of you become Primordial Spirits in the future, it will be quite a story in King Ming’s Mansion."
"Now, King Ming’s Mansion would like to invite Wen Yuan to join the Hidden Dragon Camp. Wen Yuan, are you willing?" Chu Xu asked.
"I will follow my Master’s instructions in all things." Wen Yuan replied respectfully.
Lu Yan, of course, wouldn’t object and immediately agreed.
"Lu Yan, for introducing a top-notch Internal God-man to the Hidden Dragon Camp, you will definitely be rewarded. When you receive it, it will be in the form of Meritorious Points. You can check it yourself later." Chu Xu said.
"Thank you, elder."
Lu Yan bowed.
A few days later, all of Wen Yuan’s procedures were completed, and he was also assigned a villa, right next to Lu Yan’s.
Afterward, Lu Yan took Wen Yuan to familiarize himself with the environment of the Hidden Dragon Camp and incidentally chose a top martial arts technique.
"Master, which martial arts technique should I choose?"
Wen Yuan asked.
"There are a total of eight. Which one do you want to choose?"
Lu Yan briefly explained the eight top martial arts techniques.
"Whichever one Master chooses, Disciple will choose the same." Wen Yuan replied.
Lu Yan smiled. Wen Yuan seemed to be honest but he was actually clever. By choosing the same martial arts as Lu Yan, Lu Yan would naturally be able to guide him.
"Good, then choose Thunder Nine Sounds."
Lu Yan nodded.
As for choosing others that Lu Yan doesn’t have, it was pointless.
Because of the regulations of the Hidden Dragon Camp, martial arts techniques cannot be passed on to a second person.
That is to say, even if Wen Yuan chose body refining martial arts, he couldn’t share it with Lu Yan for comprehension.
